Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experiences with these foods (positive and/or negative) post gastric bypass? And if you're ok with them, when did you introduce that food back in to your diet?

I'm trialling some foods pre op before my Optifast 2 week diet.

I mostly concentrate on Protein. I stay away from foods that I used to consider healthy. I am 1 year post op and 90% of my daily intake is still protein. I have the occasional salad or piece of fruit but I can count how often per month on one hand. I just received the results from lab work I had done for my upcoming 6 month primary care physician appointment and all my numbers were perfect.

My advice to anyone having the surgery or recently had it, Don't eat something because it is good for you, eat stuff your body needs and try to stay away from everything else.

Bananas I took on within a week. So easy to chew into something resembling free Fluid, they are my favorites snack now. Avocados at puree stage (2 weeks) and blueberries soon after. Brie from some foods on, no issues.

The only one in your list that sort of troubled me was edamame. I had a barley/pearl cous cous edamame steamer bag and it didn't sit great, when I threw it up the edamame was fibrous and probably contributed to the sticking. Cucumber and capsicum are fine, I just need to chew them very well.

Soft cheese is a life saver.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
